Mrs Worrallo’s Literacy Group:
This week we are going to focus on the different characters in Fantastic Mr Fox and describe them!
Each day we are going to describe a different character. On Friday we are going to compare two of them!
Tuesday – Describe Badger.
Wednesday – Describe Mrs Fox.
Thursday – Describe Bunce.
Friday – Compare Mr Fox and Badger.
Today, we are going to compare two characters. This means that we say what is the same about them and what is different about them.
Now open up the Blue Group Activity. We are going to draw a picture of Mr Fox and Badger. Then we are going to write:
A) One thing that is the same about them.
B) One thing that is different about them.
